Follow through and overlapping action is an important part of animation. It is used to help show different movements that are separate from the character, such as clothing, long hair, long ears and tails. Follow through and overlapping action is done by first moving the character in one frame then slowly moving the clothing or other extra parts to the character in frames after the first movement of the character. By using follow through and overlapping a character can appear to be moving freely around a space; a good example of follow through and overlapping action would be a dancer in a long dress, the dress would have to flow behind the movement of the character to make it seem like the dancer was actually moving.
